MANNING'S PLACE.
THE PRESIDENT DISPOSED TO GIVE IT
10 CARLISLE.
An Inside viev-Ths President and a
Second Term-Internal Taxes
Brisf-Personal.
IRON our Regular Corre,pondentl

ing man here, who has recently talked
with the President, says that he has not
yet made up his mindto be candidate
for reelection. His Administration has
been rudely assailed within the party
he has been steadily on the defensive,
and has had no opportunity to bring
the whole power of the party out in the
execution OF great policy. Feeling
keenly this isolation, and not being in
love of power and place for themselves,
Mr.. Cleveland is rather disposed, as his
inclination now tends, to let his Admin
'istration end with the four years for
which he was elected, and devolve on
the party the choice Of man who shall
serve all the ends for which he has
struggled so ceaselessly and with an eye
single tothe public good and his party's
welfare.
MANNNG's PLACE. /.
The following is given TO your CORE
spondent as an inside view of the mat
ter The President desires to appoint
Mr.. Carlisle Secretary of the Treasury,
but he wishes TO know in advance
whether the portfolio would be accepted.
He is using every indirect means to as
certain how the Speakers mind is on the
question. II he could be satisfied that
Mr.. Carlisle would without doubt take
the place he would offer it with
out moments hesitation. He be
lieves that Mr.. Carlisle is Just the
man for the position that he is
not only admirably qualified for q
seat in the Cabinet, but peculiarly
qualified for this greatest place in the
Administration, and that he is big
enough to inspire the whole country
with confidence in the financial policy
Of the Government.
A Kentucky congressman says that
if it is rendered to him the Speaker will
accept the portfolio.
A gentleman who talked with him
this afternoon says that if Mr. Carlisle
accepts it will be after pressure by his
nearest friends. He will do it in the
interest of the party.
INTERNAL TAXES.
II the Committee on Public Lands
had not taken the floor in the House to-
day with business using the greater part
of the day something of Importance to
our people in Virginia and North Caro-
lima might have passed under suspen-
sion of the rules. Mr.. Morrison, chair
man of that committee, had promised,
| if the call reached the Ways and Means
| Committee, TO bring up the bills out
| lined in this column last week-the
bills ameliorating the internal-revenue
system. 1t is said that Mr.. Morrison
has shown within the past three or four
days more disposition to do something
for the benefit of the internal-tax dis
tricts than heretofore.
The Senate Committee on the Judi
ciary reported favorably to-day Mr..
Collins's House joint resolution No.
224) to provide for the recovery OF in-
ternal taxes and penalties enormously
assessed and paid in certain cases. II
is provided that such cases reported in
the DIST volume of Wallace's Supreme
Court Reports, page 2S4,) shall be re-
rerred to the Court of Claims, the same
as provided in section 1853 of the Re
vised Statutes.
PAUPER PENSIONS.
A large number of interviews with
members of the House to-day develops
the fact that there will be very few
changes against the pauper pension
bill. The pressure from the Grand
Army of the Republic is enormous and
increases every day. The vote is going
to be close, but the probability is that
the bill will pass by two thirds, the
veto Notwithstanding.
The Board of Trade of Socorro, New
Mexico, petition through O'Hara fol
the passage of an act to quiet land
titles.
HAD TO LEAVE.
The Chemnitz merchants have beer
too strong for Consul Tanner, of Soutl
Carolina, and he is forced to accept his
vindication at Pictou, Nova Scotia, al
$500 less salary than he received ii
Germany. There is no objection tC
him entertained by our State Depart
ment, but the custom of nations is tC
remove officials complained of. II
seems that Tanner ferreted out a mum
Der of cases of generalization by the
merchants of Chemnitz in goods ex
ported.
